These modifications are applied at download and do not affect the original file.
Be aware that these modifications may cause problems with modded games.
You can change the default modifications on the Preferences page.

Binary/EXE Version

When you save the game, an ID pertaining to the EXE (gta_sa.exe/gta-sa.exe) used is stored in the save.
v1 EXEs will load saves with any EXE ID, even a v2 ID.
v2 EXEs will only load saves with a v2 ID (including the Steam version).
German v2 EXEs will only load saves with a German v2 ID.Recommended: "Standard 2.0" unless you are using German 2.0.

Script/SCM Version

This option will allow you to convert the save file to a different script version.
v1 saves will only load when using v1 scripts, and v2 saves will only load when using v2 scripts.Recommended: Use the script version you currently use. If you are unsure which version you have, you can upload
one of your saves to this site to find out.

IPL Flags Version

Save files contain IPL flags that enable and disable map objects in the game.
The order of the IPL flags is determined by the models\gta3.img file being used when the game is saved.
This site cannot detect your IPL version for you.
Saves will work regardless of which version of gta3.img you use, however there may be glitches, such as
road barriers to other cities still appearing after they should have been removed.
You can check which version of gta3.img you are using by checking it's file size or checksum.
If your gta3.img doesn't match either of these, then your gta3.img is likely modded.Recommended: Find out which version of gta3.img you have or leave unmodified.

Fix Zone Glitches aka No Taxi Fares Glitch

A glitch in the game can cause zone information in the save file to become corrupt over time, leading to some glitches, such as
taxi fares not appearing, map areas being labeled incorrectly, or the Mike Toreno mission not progressing properly.
The zone information is the same across all unmodded games.Recommended: "Yes" if detected.

Fix Erratic Traffic Glitches

A glitch in the game can cause traffic to behave oddly as you spend more and more time playing
(total time played across multiple sessions, such as 100+ hours).
Behavior includes traffic vehicles driving backwards, through each other, or in the air.
The glitch gets worse over time and can be fixed by resetting various timers and a few variables in the save file.
This site cannot detect the glitch for you.Recommended: "Yes" if you are experiencing these glitches.

Move Madd Dogg Mansion Save Disk

This save disk can cause basketball courts to be disabled because it is too close to a nearby court.
The disk can be moved to one of the rooms in the hallway not far from it's original position. This places it far enough away to avoid the glitch.Recommended: "Yes" if disk is in default location.

Fix Disabled Basketball Court Glitch

Fix Missing Pool Player Glitch

This glitch occurs when you save near a pool table and prevents you from using them.
This should only occur in modded games, or saves where a save disk has been moved too close to a pool table.Recommended: "Yes" if detected.

Fix Parachute Creation Glitch

The exact cause of this glitch is unknown, however it causes some missions to either refuse to start or crash the game when starting.Recommended: "Yes" if detected.

Fix Gym Workout Glitch

This glitch is present if you are unable to use gym equipment and receive the message "You have worked out enough for today, come back tomorrow!" even after returning the next day.Recommended: "Yes" if you experience glitch.
